Virginia has asked about "Focus on Basics".  "Focus.." is a quarterly 
publication of the National Center for the Study of Adult Learning and 
Literacy  (NCSALL), which is housed at Harvard University and funded by the 
Educational Research and Development Centers program, US Department of 
Education.  Focus is published by World Education, 44 Farnsworth St., Boston, 
MA 02210-1211 EMAIL fob@worlded.org.   Dr. Rima Rudd is, among other things, 
a distinguished researcher at  the Harvard School of Public Health, and has 
been (may still be) a subscriber to this list serv.

The latest issue of Focus is devoted entirely to health literacy.  Dr. Rudd's 
article is on the cover.  To view Focus on Basics on-line, go to 
http://www.gse.harvard.edu/~ncsall/fob/.

NCSALL also produces an annual review of research in adult learning and 
literacy.  

The National  Institute for Literacy (NIFL) also offers a discussion group 
specifically for Focus on Basics readers, where discussion and comment is 
made in response to each issue.  The group operates exactly as does the 
NIFL-Health group.  To subscribe, go to www.nifl.gov/lincs and click on 
"discussions".
